Villa Progettata Da Un Architetto Contemporaneo Con Spazi Spettacolari, Ai Piedi DI Le

Tagline
First impression upon entering: your gaze is drawn upward. The living room rises all the way to the top of the roof structure, bathed in light streaming down from a glass skylight at the roof ridge, and a spiral staircase made of beech wood winds through its center like a sculpted piece. Built in 2005 by an architect, this 200 m² single-family home offers spacious rooms rarely found elsewhere, in a preserved rural setting just a few minutes from Orbe.

Location
Orbe is 5 minutes away, Yverdon-les-Bains 15 minutes away, Lausanne 30 minutes away, with quick access to the A1. This is a true village in northern Vaud—quiet and surrounded by nature—at the foot of the Suchet. A local grocery store and artisanal bread from the on-site community bakery, plus a full range of schools and shops just a few minutes away.

The Architecture
The house is organized around a large living room that extends the full height of the roof, bathed in natural light. The wooden roof trusses remain exposed, and a spiral staircase made of beech wood connects the two levels. A concrete structure on the ground floor and a wood-frame structure upstairs: a contemporary choice that gives the entire home its warmth and character.

The Spaces
Approximately 200 m² of net living space, 7.5 rooms spread over two levels. On the upper level: spacious living room with a fireplace and dining area, modern open-concept kitchen, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, bedroom or office, and two direct access points to the terrace. On the lower level: four bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room, cellar, and storage spaces.
